I Really Do Live

Woot, I'm going to double post after a long absence! (g) As usual, I've just been too tired to post. A lot of times, I've just been too tired to even turn on my computer, seriously. Most of this has been due to work - summer reading was the usual short-handed insanity, and it hasn't slacked off that much now that school's back in session. I've

What version of Firefox are you running? Have you made sure that any plugins/add-ons are also updated? Is it consistently crashing on the same things? Have you tried a new profile?

3.6 (running nightlies on that also) is still fine for me. I keep that installed for when Minefield is unusable. It's the Minefield ones that I'm having personal dislike for right now. They've made a lot of changes for 4.0 (hence why keeping 3.6 around is needed - some of the changes, like the new Add-ons Manager, broke a lot of stuff at first). Some I don't care about, like Panorama or whatever Tab Candy is being called, or Sync (since I already use XMarks for that). Getting rid of the status bar, and replacing it with an add-ons bar, means that you lose the actual functionality of the status bar: showing actual URLs before you click on them, which they've moved to the location bar (they are working on the display of that, but right now it is driving me insane, especially since I never look up while looking at a page) and giving status updates in text for page loads. I already had a progress bar (on each tab) - I want the actual text in case of problems. I finally sent feedback to Mozilla for the first time to complain about this. I've been using Firefox since at least 0.9, and using Mozilla products going back to Mosaic (g), so pondering switching because of this is a big deal for me. Yeah, someone will make an extension to restore what I consider basic functionality, I'm sure, but the fact that I have to install an extension for this ticks me off.
